<p>Several bug fixes and performance tweaks hve been made to the Insync Linux client, which has gone through several <a href="http://www.pcper.com/news/General-Tech/Insync-Releases-10-RC-Linux">beta testing/feedback cycles</a> between the Windows and Mac 1.0 release and the new Linux 1.0 release. Users can now install Insync for Linux on various Linux distributions using apt-get or yum. Insync 1.0 for Linux will further add a new right-click context menu that allows users to add files to Insync and the software takes care of adding a symlink to the Insync folder automatically. The local Insync files will then be sync to Google Drive, including your documents.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the <a href="http://www.pcper.com/news/General-Tech/Insync-Extending-Support-09x-Versions-it-Improves-Upgrade-Process-Its-New-10-Clien">file compare update</a> is still being worked on. This update wil enable users to update to version 1.0 from a x.9 release without re-downloading all of their data stored in Google Drive. According to Insync, this feature is slated for inclusion in the Insync 1.1 Linux client.</p>

<p>Insyc has released a new release candidate for its Google Drive companion software that adds a few new features and bug fixes to the Linux client.</p>
<p>According to Insync, the 1.0 RC implements an improved syncing core build from scratch. It also allows users to selectively sync files and folders between local storage and their Google Drive cloud storage. It is no longer all or nothing, and you can choose to only store what you need locally rather than the entire document archive now. The release candidate software also allows customized account folders that can be renamed and moved to other locations on the drive. Symlink support, headless installs, and a CLI (command line interface) client are also included in the Insync 1.0 RC.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.pcper.com/category/tags/insync">Insync</a> has also made changes to the management user interface to make configuring the syncing options easier. Finally, Insync has also coded in a notification function that will notify users of changes to files on Google Drive which will be handy for collaborative documents and spreadsheets.</p>
<p>Insync has put together Debian packages for OSes like Ubuntu (Nautilus) and Mint (Cinnamon, MATE, Xfce desktop environments). Additionally, support for KDE and RPM packages is &ldquo;coming soon.&rdquo; You can grab the new beta 1.0 RC client <a href="https://forums.insynchq.com/discussion/1964/insync-for-linux-beta-16-0-10-0/p1">here</a>.</p>

<p>Insync -- a service that extends the functionality of Google Drive and (among other things) allows users to sync Google Drive files (and documents) with their local computer for offline access -- has announced that it is extending support for version 0.9.x clients due to users expressing concerns over upgrade issues. The company released a new version 1.0 desktop client last month that added a number of new features, and the older clients were scheduled for end-of-life support.</p>
<p class="rtecenter" style=""><div class = "center-article-image"><a href="/news/General-Tech/Insync-Extending-Support-09x-Versions-it-Improves-Upgrade-Process-Its-New-10-Clien" class="inline-image-link" title="View: Insync.jpg"><img src="/files/imagecache/article_max_width/news/2013-04-24/Insync.jpg" alt="Insync.jpg" title="Insync.jpg" class="pcper-inline" width="600" height="209" /></a></div></p>
<p>Unfortunately, in order to upgrade to the new <a href="http://insynchq.com">Insync 1.0</a>, users needed to re-download all of their files stored on Google Drive. In an email to users, Insync sympathized with users&#39; concerns over needing to re-download all files (especially those with extensive libraries of files and/or low data caps) of their files simply to upgrade the client-side application.</p>
<p>Insync has announced that it is working on a solution that will allow users to upgrade to the new (and improved) client without needing to re-download files from Google Drive, which is currently necessary to bring the client in sync with the cloud storage service. There is no ETA on the new client, but the company is reportedly hard at work on fixing the issue.</p>
<p>In the meantime, users can continue using their current desktop clients without worrying about file sync and tech support ending.</p>
